Package: avahi-daemon Followup-For: Bug #693604 Hello,
I can confirm that applying the patch mentioned above[0] directly on the Debian avahi-sources stopped these occurrences. To be clear: Avahi /never/ recovers from these load excursions and stays at ~100% until killed. In our environment of 39 print queues (about 30 physical printers) this had become rather a serious headache with multiple daily occurrences. I wrote a rather desperate script that would minutely check for Avahi's well-being. After applying the patch about two weeks ago, it (the script) recorded not one instance of permanent overload. More tidbits: I have/had two servers exhibiting this behaviour (from a total of four). They multicast into different subnets. One is a x86_64 KVM machine, the other a i686 OpenVZ container. Also, the behaviour occurs in heavily MacOS-infes...frequented subnets. Thanks! -Hagen [0] Direct link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1059286/+attachment/3387784/+files/avahi_0.6.31-1ubuntu1_0.6.31-1ubuntu2.debdiff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
